I liked this Disney cartoon DVD. The graphics were great! The story and lesson was fabulous! It is good for all ages. The whale scene may be scary for the young child. I like the music! This story: Woodcarver Geppetto (G) has pets Figaro the cat and Cleo the fish. He has just made a little wooden puppet called Pinocchio (P). Wishing upon a star before he goes to bed, Geppetto wishes that Pinocchio would become a real boy. As Geppetto sleeps, the Blue Fairy arrives and partially grants his wish. Pinocchio can come to life, but he must prove himself worthy before becoming a real boy. He will require some guidance, and Jiminy Cricket (JC) agrees to act as his conscience. After some unfortunate incidents, Pinocchio finds himself in trouble. The wolf (W) and the cat (C) sell P to a mean marionette show man. This man locks P in a cage so he can‘t escape. The Blue Fairy (BF) appears. Pinocchio lies to her and his nose grows. He is forgiven, but warned not to lie again. P escapes. On the way home, The W & C talk P into going to Pleasure Island. This is where boys are turned into donkeys. The island owner sells the donkeys to the mines to work in. P barely escapes the island. P still has his donkey ears and tale. P finally arrives home with JC; but G has left the house to find P. The BF tells P that G is in the whale at the bottom of the ocean. P and JC save G, the cat and the fish from the whale. They all make it home safely finally. P has proven to be honest and brave to the BF; thus, while G slept P became a real boy.
